Understanding the Media Page User Interface
By default, the Media page is divided into five different areas, designed to make it easy to find, select, and work with media in your project.
Media page
Much of the functionality and most of the commands are found within the contextual menus that appear when you right-click clips in the Media Storage browser or Media Pool.
The Interface Toolbar
At the very top of the Media page is a toolbar with buttons that let you show and hide different parts of the user interface. These buttons are as follows, from left to right:
The Interface toolbar
— Media Storage full/half height button: Lets you set the Media Storage browser to take up the full height of your display, if you need more area for browsing at the expense of a smaller Media Pool.
— Media Storage: Lets you hide or show the Media Storage browser. Hiding the Media Storage browser creates more room for the Viewer.
— Clone Tool: Shows or hides the Clone tool, used for cloning media from camera cards or hard drives.
— Audio Panel: Hides or shows the Audio Panel.
— Metadata: Hides or shows the Metadata Editor.
— Inspector: Hides or shows the Inspector Panels.
